Translations of this policy are provided for convenience only — the English version prevails.
Plain English summary: Browsing OpenSourceAI.tech requires no account and no personal data. If you choose to create an optional member account, we store only your email address and your watchlist — to sign you in and send the alerts you asked for — and you can delete everything in one click from your account page. We use Google AdSense (which may set advertising cookies) and analyse anonymous traffic. You can decline all non-essential cookies using our banner. Your data is never sold to third parties.

OpenSourceAI.tech ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at https://opensourceai.tech. We are an independent directory and blog dedicated to free, open-source AI tools.

Browsing the site requires no registration. The built-in AI tools (Chat, Code Assistant, Summarizer, Text to Speech) process your inputs in real time via the Pollinations AI API. We do not store, log, or retain any prompts or outputs on our servers.
Optional member account. If you sign in (passwordless, via an email link) to follow projects, we store on our server: your email address, your watchlist (the projects you follow), and sign-in tokens with their timestamps. We use this data solely to authenticate you and to send you the alert emails you requested (project health changes, new releases). We never store a password. This data is kept until you delete it: the “Delete account” button on your account page immediately and permanently erases your email, watchlist and sign-in history.
Some features (favorites, theme preference, reading state) store data in your browser's localStorage. (The watchlist of a member account is stored on our server, as described in Section 2.) This data never leaves your device, is never transmitted to us, and you can erase it at any time by clearing your browser data.
Some pages load public content directly from third parties: our homepage may fetch our latest posts from the public APIs of Bluesky (public.api.bsky.app) and Mastodon (mastodon.social), and project pages display preview images served by GitHub. When your browser contacts these services, they receive your IP address and user agent under their own privacy policies. We receive nothing from these requests.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We use the following categories of cookies:
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking Manage Cookie Preferences or by clearing your browser cookies.
